Christian Purity Ring Banned
The British High Court has ruled that the Malaise I mean Millais School in Horsham, West Sussex, is within its rights to decree that student Lydia Playfoot cannot wear a purity ring engraved with a verse from the Bible to symbolize her opposition to premarital sex.
Muslim and Sikh pupils are allowed to wear headscarves and religious bracelets, but that's different; they aren't Christian.
Miss Playfoot observed that the ruling
will mean that slowly, over time, people such as school governors, employers, political organizations and others will be allowed to stop Christians from publicly expressing and practicing their faith.
Over here, the ACLU has worked industriously toward the same objective, with tragic success.
More from Lydia, who is wise beyond her years:
Over two years ago, I was concerned at the number of teenagers who were catching sexually transmitted diseases, getting pregnant and/or having abortions. The Government's sex education program is not working, and the pressure on young people to "give in" to sex continues to increase.
Unable to resist rubbing salt in the wound, the court also ordered her father, a Christian minister, to pay the school £12,000 for legal fees. The school's headmaster Leon Nettley is "delighted" with the ruling.
Once again we see that our society's degeneration is not occurring spontaneously; it is imposed on us by the liberal elite that dominates the media, education, and courts.
On a tip from The Panday.

This is why it is important that Christians know their Bibles and pass it on to their children. I expect that one day there will police raids to seize Bibles. Looks like it will be in Britain first (in the west).

What do you think would have happened, if her ring said, "Praise Allah"? We would not even be reading this.

"Judge Supperstone ruled, however, that the ring could not be regarded as a proper Christian symbol...
The judge said: 'The claimant was under no obligation, by reason of her belief, to wear the ring.'"
Apparently Christianity just isn't totalitarian enough to demand treatment equal to that of a 7th century gangster cult.

its quite unfortunate.
since there isnt a law outrightly banning such rings except on debate,is it not proper to encourage such interest in doing what is right?
For all i care,abstinence is talked down by people just because they are humbled that they cant work it out.
they should however live us all who believe to freely express our will so far we dont force them to join us as they indirectly force us to join them by make questionable lwas and comment on the issue.
Go girl!i thnink what God wanted more was the awareness of a despirate heart abstinence display as against the other side of pre-marital sex and promiscuity.
well this doesnt stop us from believing more in abstinence,right? it only exposes judicial failure to protect individual believe without fear or favour as regards influencial parties.
